The Holly Springs City Council this week voted 3-1 to approve a high-density residential subdivision on 28.43 acres of land off Stringer Road, despite residents who were concerned about the development’s potential impact on schools and traffic.
The request by the tract’s owners the Cagle family sought to annex the land into the city and rezone it from agricultural and residential estate to planned development residential for a more than 100-home subdivision. It will be developed by Georgia Development Partners.
The plan was approved with a series of staff stipulations designed to meet some residents’ concerns about the density of this and other developments popping up across parts of Cherokee. The staff stipulations include fees to mitigate the effects of the development on Stringer Road and Hickory Road, funds to purchase equipment for the fire department and mitigation fees for the Cherokee County School District.
The zoning ordinance sets maximum density at 3.8 units per acre.
